13 Aviana visits Ethan

Aviana woken up by the smell of freshly baked cupcakes, without even opening her eyes, her head rose automatically from her bed, while her nose sniffed along the direction in which the smell was coming from. A moment later, she stopped at the entrance of the kitchen. Her nose was buried in a soft and warm substance. Still groggy, Aviana moved up and immediately started munching on the substance after realizing that it was actually the vanilla chocolate-flavored cupcakes she loved since childhood.

"Hey, drool face! Why don't you wake up first and then you can continue eating? I pinky swear I won't disturb your nose's impression in the cupcake!" Hearing those words and the chuckle that came along with the words, Aviana suddenly opened her eyes to see Hayden standing in front of her who was holding the cupcakes she were messily eating to her face. He was wearing a chef's apron, small in size, and which had stains of flour on it, and his black hair was an organized mess. His fair face, with some stains of flour, had a wide smile on it, as it emphasized his dimpled cheeks. 'Gosh! I have such a cute brother!' she exclaimed inwardly.

"Hayden! Get me more of them! I had a nightmare that I was really starving!" As she said these words, Aviana snatched the tray full of cupcakes and started to greedily gobble them down, one by one, like a squirrel which had obtained an arcon. Seeing this sight, Hayden laughed as he joked,

"Come on Sis, eat slow! The cupcakes are too many, enough to feed you for three days. Besides, mum made them especially for you." As he pushed out these words, Hayden ran into the kitchen chuckling. Aviana understood immediately. Her mother never baked the cupcakes for no good reason. She always had some hidden agenda every time she baked them. The last time she baked them she actually asked her to clean her bedroom for her as compensation for the cupcakes she baked for her. She could do nothing but do her the favor, because she had already eaten the cupcakes. It was some kind of a trick her mother invented with the intention of tricking them into doing a favor for her. It was a good one though, as it worked with magic. Who on earth would reject such cupcakes baked by her mother? That day, Hayden laughed at her, saying she was gollible. Now it happened again. And she fell for the trick the third time. With the realization, Aviana sighed. The deed had already been done. She couldn't cry over spilt milk.

With the realization, she continued to eat the cupcakes, her eyes sparkling with joy as she relished the soft, warm cupcakes enjoying the flavor that hit her with a bang. Stuffing the cupcakes into her mouth, she was finally done eating them. Now it was finally time to see what her mother had in store for her. 'It couldn't be that bad,' she thought. With a helpless sigh, she walked into the kitchen. Joanna busied herself, cleaning up the mess in the kitchen. Hayden was by her side still chuckling.

"Mum, what do you want me to do for you this time?" She went straight to the point. "And please, don't ask me to clean up your room again! The last time I did it, I got a runny nose, because of the dust from your dusty room," she pleaded, her eyes like those of an adorable cute little kid.

"What favor! What are you talking about! I didn't bake the cupcakes with any agenda this time," said Joanna as she continued to clean up the kitchen. However, Aviana didn't give in to her naked lie. She was her mother, so she knew her too well. With a sigh, Aviana said,

"Really mum! I know you too well! You know you can't lie to me! You don't even know to tell a lie! Mum, just tell me what it is that you want me to do and let's get it done and over with. I have an important matter to attend to."

Joanna sighed. Aviana knew her too well, she couldn't lie to her. Besides, Aviana was an expert in telling lies. She could tell when someone is lying or not. Dropping everything she were doing, she walked over to Aviana,"Come with me, I need to have a talk with you." Aviana followed her mother's gesture and walked into the sitting room and sat on the sofa, as Joanna sat on the sofa just opposite her.

"What is it, mum?" she asked, trying to start up the conversation.

"When are you actually going to see that man? The one who gave us this villa. It's been days since we moved in here and you haven't mentioned a word about going to see him and find out the truth of the matter. Why he gave us the villa? I'm really not comfortable living here when everything is not yet clear to me," said Joanna. Aviana chuckled. It felt funny.

"Mother, you should have directly come to me and I would have given you the answer you so much want. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't have baked the cupcakes, don't get me wrong," said Aviana as she made clear her point. "Well.....if you must know, I'm actually going there after this, so don't worry yourself. I'm also not comfortable living here, so I'll go see him today. Are you satisfied now?" she asked, glancing at her mother who seemed to have relaxed after hearing her daughter's assurance.

G&K Company.

Aviana got out of the cab that had driven her here and walked into the building. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she got in. The inside of the building was big and spacious, it could accommodate the whole country. She was already lost in her world of fantasy when she heard a female voice call out to her. It was Jenny, the receptionist. "Hey, young lady, how may I help you?" asked Jenny, as she sized up the woman who stood in front of her, like some kind of disgusting thing. Of course, this didn't escape Aviana's eyes, but choosing to pretend like nothing happened, she responded politely,

"I'm here to see your boss, Ethan Urkel." She handed over to her the card given to her by Ethan's PA. 'This is actually the ceo' s business card,'she thought, but how did it get to her hands?' Glancing at her over and over again, Jenny didn't get the answer she wanted. The woman was good looking though, but she seemed classless. She had no class at all. As Aviana stood there,with her head bowed, like some kid who was being reprimanded, wondering when the sizing up and down would end, Devin walked to them. He had actually recognized her from a far. Knowing fully well how the receptionist could be disrespectful sometimes, he strode over to them.

"Ma'am, are you here to see the boss?" asked Devin. Aviana nodded. "This way, please," he led her to the office. Jenny was left dumbfounded, with no idea of what had just happened.

Meanwhile, inside the ceo's office, Ethan as usual sat on the office chair, his head bowed on the documents that were on the table. "Come in," said Ethan as soon as he heard the knock on the door. Aviana walked in. She slowed her pace as soon as she walked in. The man was more handsome than she had last seen him, at the hospital. He was even more handsome as he worked. Sighing, she sat down. Ethan didn't even give her a glance. Before she came here, she read a lot about him on the internet. How cold he was to everyone. So she didn't give it much thought when he didn't give her a glance. "umm.... Good morning Sir," she said as she tried to start up a conversation. As soon as he heard the voice, his hand that had been holding the pen, writing, suddenly trembled

Of course, Aviana didn't notice. It was her. She was here, in his office. He couldn't have forgotten her beautiful voice. He wished to see her again and now his wish had come true. She was sitting just opposite him, a few inches away from him. Raising his head, he glanced at her and sighed inwardly. In his eyes, she looked more beautiful than he had last seen her. Her seductive full-lips, her sexy brown eyes, and..... And her brown hair that had been tied into a clean pony tail. She was absolutely beautiful. Clearing his voice, he responded, "Goodmorning."
